Freezing Reaction

K.K. asked me if I would want to be frozen alive in order to be reanimated in the future during lunch. I said something to the effect of I would not, as I would need my friends and family also frozen. Then, I said something very strange:

K.T.: You know, I'd rather achieve immortality by being a good person to my friends and family, and having them remember me well, and living on that way. Was there enough sarcasm in my voice? No, I'd rather just become the ruler of a third-world country, oppress my subjects, and be remembered that way.

Thing was, I was completely honest about what I first said, and there was no trace of sarcasm in my voice. Why did I feel the need to dissemble like that? Is this what I've come to, that I can't even reveal myself without hiding it away immediately?

Don't be afraid of saying what you really mean, K.
